hey mate i did alot of reasearch on this when i was looking at buying one.
mazda motors that fit r most early 1.8's 2.0 and 2.2's fit. and i've heard mazda 2.6. efi motors and posibly 2.5tdi. there is a guy on here that has put a 2.6 astron motor in his and said it flew. and there is the kia sportage 2.0 efi wich i know bolts up and makes good power.
aparently the gc 4wd wreckers have some parts but a rocsta is made of so many diferent parts it's posible to scavenge stuff of other makes
check out this website it helped me alot.

a mazda bravo and kia sportage are north/south facing motor so it's all the right spots. u will have to get it mod plated but i'm prety sure the kia motor will bolt strait in and i duno about efi depending who u know.
